Well, so far the reviewers do not seem to have noted this as an issue. It doesn't mean it won't be noticeable by some potential owners, but I suspect you'll the part of a very small minority. You may note that BMW has been building four cylinder luxury cars for decades now with much success, as have their European competitors. They obviously understand how to keep NVH at an acceptable level, though I'm sure they probably can't please everyone in this regard.
